Post by bripet56 »

Just found this candid from Vegas 1969 when I searched the internet in connection with another thread.

I've never seen this before.

"Thin as a rake, and handsomer than TEN movie stars" -- that is Elvis in August 1969.

New to my eyes as well -- thanks, Brian!

Gorgeous Candid, thanks Brian.

ECat, cool link, thanks.


I saw Elvis live in concert the year before he died. Even then, he was bigger than life, and had amazing charisma. Haven't seen anything like it since, ....until Adam.........Nocturnal 2010

Looks like he's wearing the same belt in the bottom photo as well. Different shirt though.

Thanks for the full print, Francesc -- it's definitely correct as is.

The fan pictured with Elvis, Jim Morris, helped found "The King's Court" fan club of New York. Their button is worn by Bruce Springsteen on the cover of his classic 1975 LP, Born To Run.

Is Morris still around? He must have some stories he could share.

From Elvis the King´s Court web site:

A special thanks to past members of the King's Court, Pat Morris, the late Jim Morris who is terribly missed...
